Creamy Citrus Dipping Sauce Recipes

LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and salt and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice. Season with freshly ground pepper and sprinkle with parsley and red pepper flakes, if using.
• Serve with steamed artichokes for dipping or toss with pasta. See the blog post above for additional serving suggestions.

EASY LEMON CREAM SAUCE (MULTI PURPOSE)

Steps:

• In a sauce pan over medium-high heat combine the chicken stock (or base), minced garlic, lemon juice and heavy cream. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the sauce, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This may take 20 minutes when using stock because there us more liquid that needs to evaporate, less time when using chicken base.***
• After you are satisfied with the consistency of the creamy lemon infused sauce, taste it and season with salt and pepper as needed.

CREAMY DILL DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours before serving.

CITRUS SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small skillet over high heat, boil 1/2 cup fresh orange juice and 1/4 cup fresh lime juice until reduced to 1/2 cup, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Remove from heat; whisk in 2 teaspoons sugar, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper.

FRIED WHOLE CAULIFLOWER WITH CREAMY LEMON DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, parsley and a large pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Refrigerate while you fry the cauliflower.
• Fill a large, deep stockpot halfway with oil and heat to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat. Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet.
• Gently lower the cauliflower into the hot oil with a large spider or large slotted spoon. This might splatter so be very careful once the cauliflower is in the oil. The cauliflower might not be fully submerged, but that is okay. Cook until the cauliflower is golden brown and you can easily insert a paring knife into one of the florets, 5 to 7 minutes, carefully flipping the cauliflower halfway through the cooking time.
• Lift the cauliflower out of the hot oil using the large spider or slotted spoon and transfer to the cooling rack. Season liberally with salt. Allow the excess oil to drip away before putting the cauliflower onto a large serving platter. Serve alongside the creamy lemon sauce.
